Riding Through Rocinha at Night.


This is what it's like to ride a motorcycle taxi through Rocinha, at night. Moto-taxis are one of the most convenient ways to get around Rocinha. Recorded by Jennifer, Resident Volunteer/Assistant Field Coordinator.

A New Rotation.

As summer came to a close, we said farewell to two very wonderful people, welcomed two new resident volunteers and welcomed a returning resident volunteer for our second term of the year.


Will Brandreth is from the United Kingdom and he is currently teaching our children’s class and our adult beginner English class.


Harriet Simpson is also from the United Kingdom and has taken over the teen English class, from the reins of Erin.



Katie Dauth is from Australia and she first came to work as a resident volunteer in July of 2012 and used to teach our children's class, adult intermediate class and adult advanced class. She returned to Australia in the following January and came back to Rocinha this past July to teach our advanced English class.




Erin Kanygin (Canada) and Wesley Cornwell (U.S.A.) served as resident volunteers from the beginning of May until the end of August. We want to thank both of you, from the bottom of our hearts, for the work you contributed to the Two Brothers Foundation, for your dedication, eagerness and compassion for the people of Rocinha and for our project. We miss you both!
